All this, accompanied by a pot-luck lunch! The Casal will put food, drinks and torrons (of course!), but we appreciate it if you can collaborate and surprise us with your recipes.

The Christmas gathering will be held next Sunday, December 10 at the Kitsilano Community Center (Multipurpose room) between 1pm and 4pm.

Celebrate Saint Georges Day - The Catalan one, not the English one!

Dear Friend,

Come to celebrate with us Sain Georges day, the patron saint of Catalonia that also doubles as the Catalan equivalent of Saint Valentine`s day. Lovers exchange books and roses. Any other exchange is private.

We will be at the Granville Island Picnic Pavilion (https://maps.app.goo.gl/9YMzDx4zRLP9xXq66) next Sunday April 21 between 11:30am and 2:30pm.

Bring a book wrapped in dark paper so you can exchange it at the mistery book exchange, bring your kids (and/or your sweer tooth) for the sweet (and edible) roses workshop, and some spare cash to buy a rose to your sweetheart (and the satisfaction of supporting the Casal activities!).

If you can, please bring some nibbles to share for the pot luck. The Casal will bring (soft) drinks for everybody.

We look forward to see you!
